Wealth in Brief
“සත්තිමානි, භික්ඛවේ, ධනානි. කතමානි සත්ත? සද්ධාධනං, සීලධනං, හිරීධනං, ඕත්තප්පධනං, සුතධනං, චාගධනං, පඤ්ඤාධනං. ඉමානි ඛෝ, භික්ඛවේ, සත්ත ධනානීති.
“Bhikkhus, there are these seven kinds of wealth. What seven? The wealth of faith, ethics, conscience, prudence, learning, generosity, and wisdom. These are the seven kinds of wealth.
සද්ධාධනං සීලධනං, හිරී ඕත්තප්පියං ධනං; සුතධනඤ්ච චාගෝ ච, පඤ්ඤා වේ සත්තමං ධනං.
Faith and ethical conduct are kinds of wealth, as are conscience and prudence, learning and generosity, and wisdom is the seventh kind of wealth.
යස්ස ඒතේ ධනා අත්ථි, ඉත්ථියා පුරිසස්ස වා; අදලිද්දෝති තං ආහු, අමෝඝං තස්ස ජීවිතං.
When a woman or man has these kinds of wealth, they’re said to be prosperous, their life is not in vain.
තස්මා සද්ධඤ්ච සීලඤ්ච, පසාදං ධම්මදස්සනං; අනුයුඤ්ජේථ මේධාවී, සරං බුද්ධාන සාසනන්”ති.
So let the wise devote themselves to faith, ethical behavior, confidence, and insight into the teaching, remembering the instructions of the Buddhas.”
පඤ්චමං.
